The Influence of Sourcing and Relatedness on Event Integration
Kim, Hyun-Jeong Joyce; Millis, Keith
Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, v41 n1 p51-65 2006
This study investigated the influence of sourcing and relatedness on the integration of events embedded in simple stories. Participants read pairs of "breaking news stories" from either 1 or 2 news agencies that were believed to be from the Internet. The stories within each pair were either related by virtue of shared situational dimensions (e.g., same protagonist, same location, causal continuity) or were unrelated to one another. One third of the participants believed the news stories were from different online news agencies and were told to remember the source of each event, one third were not instructed to remember the source, and one third thought the events only came from 1 source. Priming data from a recognition task indicated that relatedness increased integration, whereas sourcing decreased integration. The results were discussed in the context of models of discourse comprehension.
